What 1t Means to Attend the Queens
 Drawing Room.
 The throne room is fine apartment, says writer in the New York Mail, describing presentation to Queen Victoria. It is entire ly hung with deep red brocade and to each window there is great gilded cornice. At the top of the room there is dais very slightly raised from the general floor. At the back of this stands the throne under canopy of red silk, on which the royal arms of England are blazoned. The royal party enter the throne room and take their places Q few moments before the first presentation. The Queen stands in the center of the dais some distance in front of the throne silken cord is drawn across, separating the royal group from the rest of the room, and slightly back from this the Queen takes her position, while the other members of the royal family are grouped as court etiquette demands.
 The Queen wears the same style of dress

 It is proposed that the legislature of Mas sachusetts establish board of public works for Boston, it's members to be appointed by the governor The matters which would
 come under the control of this board include
 the greater part of the business of the city,
 besides the schools and the police. There is,
 as there ought to be, decided objection to the
 plan Boston will probably be able to take
 care of her own affairs for awhile longer. An ingenious swindler has come to light in
 Paris. According to the French law banns of marriage are placed on the walls of the
 porches leading into mayors offices, so that all who run may read Of the approaching nuptials. The swindler ayailed himself of information of this kind in order to present to the fathers of the young ladies whom the bridegrooms were about to make their own false bills signed by intending bridegrooms and payable to fictitious tradesmen. In near ly every instance the unsuspeeting father-in- law was duped.
 The Mexican government has telegraph lines of its own, which were built and are operated at public expense, and these extend to the northern boundary as well as to the chief cities of the republic. The railroad companies lines have been used for the transmission of news to the American press and for other general business. The govern ment now tells these companies that by 9 law enacted in 1883 and by the terms of the concessions they are not allowed to place
 their telegraph lines at the service of the re-
 public. ''They must operate their lines, ' says the director general of the Government telegraph, ''so that their service will not l conflict with the interests of the govern ment."
 In deciding an appeal against Boston
 Hebrew, prosecuted for keeping open on 1 Sunday, the Supreme court of Massaohu- l setts says: The Superior court correctly held l that the fact that he was Hebrew, who
 conscientiously believed that the seventh
 day of the week ought to be observed as the | Sabbath, and that he actually refrained
 from secular business on that day, was lm-
 material. The Superior court also correctly
 held that it was not competent for the de- fendant to prove that he kept open his shop l for the sole purpose of selling meat to He-

Although it may not at once be apparent to the thousands who nightly witness Mrs. Langtry in her new role of Lena Despard at the Fifth Avenue Theater, it is none the less true that her portrayal of that character is very instructive and will do much to call public attention to the danger of the now prevalent practice of the habitual use of mar cotics, sneh as chloral and opium, to pro- duce sleep and calm the nerves.
 This feature of the play is made the more noticeable by the palpable absurdity of her representation of the manner in which chlo- ral produces death. Dramatic, like poetic license, is responsible for some very idiotic things, and some very silly and untruthful ones, but none more so than the death of Lena Despard as rendered by Mrs. Langtry. An overdose of chloral puts the victim to sleep, this quiet sleep deepening into coma or absolute inconsistencies, in which condition the feeble flame of life dies out. There is no screaming, tumbling, dress-rending or fran tic convalsive action of any kind such as she shows.
 But. presumably, this glaring dramatic blunder will do good by emphasizing the fact of death and fixing in the public mind the terrible dangers of using such narcotics to calm the nerves or produce sleep The more so at this day when every intelligent man and woman should know that nature herself has given to the world certain, yet harmless, means for obtaining the same re- OACOEAO65AASS0t ralysis, brain and nerve exhaustion, may all be relieved and cured by Dr. Buckland's Es- sence of Scotch Oats, as any eminent physi- elan will testify. Do you doubt ita Send to No. 174 Fulton street and read for yourself- the voice both of the people and the profess sion (1nedical and dramatic) as to what Scotch Oats Essence has already done for thousands of exhausted and nervous people-the book on "Brain and Nerves' free to all The emil nent divine who breaches to you to-day, the good physician who treats you when ill, the lawyer who pleads and the judge who decides your case, aye, even the newsman who has furnished you this paper, and the writers who have labored all night to fill ite columns will and do testify that as 8 brain food and nerve tonic, simple, harmless and effective, fresh from natures laboratory, Dr. Buck. lands Scotch Oats Essence (one dollar) is the best and only remedy of it's kind
 Finally, beware of the monstrosities known as nerve tonics. nervines, &c., that are only solutions of opium or chloral. Send for a book if you are weak, nervous, exhausted by overwork, subject to headache or neuralgia, or have friend who is an opium taker or an inebriate.

The Expert ShoplIfter Who COo1ly
 Walked Out of the Hartford Superior
 Court Caught by Byrnes' Men in
 New York;
 Last Wednesday William Harris, one of the most expert shoplifters in the country, was being tried for an offense in the Superior court at Hartford when he deliberately
 walked out of the court room and es-
 York last night and he will probably be
 brought back to Hartford to-day. 4 dis
 patch from New York says: This prisoner
 has an interesting history. His picture,
 which Is numbered 1 1860 in the rogues' gal-
 lery, shows him to be very good-looking young man. In 1880 he served three months for shoplifting at Martha's Vineyard. A year before that he was taken into custody for at- tempting to blackmail Walter Malley, one of the defendants in the Jennie Cramer case ai New Haven. At that time Harris claimed to possess several letters written by Malley to | the notorious Blanche Douglass. In 1882 he served year in Boston for shoplifting and g year later was sent to the Ipswich jail for the same term on the same charge, the crime hay | ing been committed in Lynn. After serving ! two months William got tired of jail, sawed | the bar of his cell and escaped. He was ' captured in this city on July 3, 1884, an6 \ sent back. Six weeks passed and Harris es capped again by means of 8 false key procured \ in a still unknown manner. In September ' last William stole some clothing at New Britain, Conn, and was sent to Hartford fol | trial.
 On Wednesday he coolly walked out of th' court room dock and the court room whil, ' another case was on trial and got away. HI \ told Inspector Byrnes this morning that h. was willing to return to Hartford. "But, ' he added, frankly, 1T shall escape from there \ I've done it before and I can do it again. \ The capture was made by Detectives McGuir \ and Crowley at o'clock this morning. On ' of them descended into the house by tn ! skylight and the other entered by means of fire escape.
